Dick's Sporting Goods has agreed to purchase outdoor retailer Moosejaw from Walmart. The e-commerce company will be placed  under Dick's specialty retailer Public Lands, which focuses on camping and hiking gear. 

"We admire what Moosejaw has accomplished over the past 30 years as leaders in the outdoor industry and look forward to the opportunity to share insights and learn from one another," said Todd Spaletto, president of public lands and senior vice president for Dick's. 

"We believe there's potential to grow the Moosejaw business and provide compelling experiences and an expanded product assortment to its millions of loyal customers."

Walmart purchased Moosejaw in 2017 as part of its digital expansion. Since then, the retail giant's online presence, Walmart.com, has grown rapidly. The deal is expected to close by next month. 

Moosejaw is primarily an e-commerce company, but it also operates brick-and-mortar locations in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri.
